Dalton overthrows every deep pass (except that last one to Erickson, who he was somehow able to underthrow), panics too quickly in the pocket (pulling down the ball, bouncing into his Olinemen a few times before getting dropped for the sack), basically throws the ball away any time he has to throw on the run or is flushed from the pocket and isn't convincing at all at play action.

The one thing he does have going for him is his ability to throw where the defensive player can often not get the ball (like the back shoulder pass to Boyd on 4th down or the almost touchdown to Tate). Problem is about half the time, that place where the defender can't get the ball is also the place the offensive player can't get the ball either. This one positive trait he has can be taught to his replacement.

There's literally no reason to play Dalton for the remainder of the year, unless Finley gets injured. He isn't the future of the QB position for us and playing him in a lost season only makes it so that we won't know if Finley will be a solid back up for our first round pick in 2020.

Yep but MB thinks we're only a couple bad breaks from being in it.
